necessary, remove foreign bodies, such as nails and pieces
of glass, for example.

porosity on the toothed sides, cuts and perforations.

4.18.2 Check the treads (including spare
wheel)
From the front tire treads it is possible to evaluate, for example, if
there is the need to check the camber and convergence:
♦ The existence of burrs on the tire profile may be caused by
convergence failure.
♦ Tread wear on only one side can be mostly caused by camber
fault.
If there is such type of wearing, the cause must be determined by
measuring the axle geometry (repair measure).

spare wheel)
